That's pretty good alright. I just love it that Eric's playing a very custom signature Black Martin that probably cost in the nature of $5000 bucks with state-of-the-art recording gear with his mighty-white running shoes on in one of his ocean side mansion's doing a Robert Johnson tune. A tune that Robert Johnson recorded using a 1930's Gibson that wasn't even top of the line and he had one mike to sing into in a hotel room and was facing into a corner because he was too shy to face the other people in the room. And you know what...? Eric plays a pretty good version of that song, but with all the fancy top-of-the-line gear he's using in the perfect setting, never in a million years will he ever be able to get the tone and the feel that Robert Johnson had. Not tryin' to start any trouble....jut sayin'. )-(

Eric obviously makes that clear in some of the other videos in this series, as far as never being able to come close to what Robert Johnson did......He has much respect for Robert Johnson. If he would of had Beautiful black shoes on ..he still would have sounded the same...what does the color of the shoes have to do with anything?....Put a 200 dollar epiphone in his hands and youll get the same thing. not trying to start any trouble just saying......
